...Lawrence '10, E. K. Merrihew '10, and L. Watson '10 were entered from the former association, and H. W. Kelley '11, C. C. Little '10, and E. L. Parker '10 from the latter. In all University men won 48 points. Two records were broken. G. P. Gardner, Jr., '10 set a new mark in the low hurdles by covering the distance in 24 3-5 seconds. B. F. Sherman '05, with a throw of 147 feet, 5 1-2 inches, bettered his former record by 5 feet, 2 1-2 inches...
...both physical and intellectual, as being essential and to be developed evenly. One should not overdo any special subject but should try all. Specialization is to be avoided in college. A man should make his acquaintance as large as possible, and his friends should not all be of one set. By making friends with men from every section you not only benefit yourself but also the country by bringing the men of different sections nearer together...

It is no use denying that the defeat by Cornell was a keen disappointment to every undergraduate, made especially so by a firm belief that the crew was absolutely unbeatable, but in spite of this set-back, the chances for victory on July 1 are still apparently bright.

Consequently all eyes were turned upon Paull, of Pennsylvania, and McGee, of Princeton, as the most likely winners. For the first quarter Paull allowed his team-mate Tyson to set the pace. With McGee and Laird of Princeton and Coney of Yale he followed just behind the pace-maker. At the end of the first lap, however, Paull stepped into the lead, and from that time until the finish was never headed or even approached. For a while the two Princeton...
Although Harvard secured the majority of points, three other colleges had the satisfaction of setting new records. The most extraordinary performance of the day was the running of Taylor of Cornell in the two-mile. His time of 9 minutes, 27 3-5 seconds, is not only a new I. C. A. A. A. A. and collegiate record, but is the best amateur performance ever made in America. The former record was 9 minutes, 34 4.5 seconds, made by Rowe of Michigan in 1907. Almost as wonderful was the time made by Paull of Pennsylvania in the one-mile...
